Came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and happy hour and had a pleasant time. Parking is easy since you're able to validate it in the restaurant using a QR code or something similar (I forget) on the table which was super convenient. We got seated right away. Food came out quickly. Our server was very friendly as well. Checked up on us often and was very warm. We ordered a couple drinks. They were solid and got me a bit tipsy lol. We ordered queso fries as our appetizer. It was my favorite thing we ate there. Fries were warm, crunchy, and soft in the inside. The sauce and meat tasted great too. We also ordered corn dogs off the happy hour menu - the cornbread around the dog itself was thinner than I'm used to in a normal corn dog, which I liked! It was a good bread to meat ratio and the sauce was excellent. For our main, we got the bang bang burrito and the birria tacos. The burrito was delicious. Super flavorful and the side salad was good too. Loved the dressing. The birria tacos were not the best I've ever had. The tacos themselves were good, and the side of beans was solid. Just the consommé was very oily. Very enjoyable experience overall. Definitely would return. read more

I went here for a Sunday dinner for happy hour. There's a decent selection but the happy hour prices are about the same as regular price at other places. We instead focused on the Plate of Nations menu which was $35 serves 2 people - basically the MLK neighborhood version of restaurant week. - Chips and salsa and queso - the chips were decent but the salsa was thick in texture, which is not really my preference. I liked the cheese and wish they gave more than just a small sauce cup - Chicken wings - we got the honey butter and it was great - Fried Brussels sprouts - also very delicious. Amazing execution of the appetizers - Enchiladas - this is where it went downhill. The sauce was bitter and the chicken was a bit dry - Tacos - basically kind of like Taco Bell but with fresher ingredients. Happy hour it's like $12 for 2 tacos which is quite a ripoff (and extra $4-5 surcharge for other proteins beyond ground beef and chicken...) - Rice was good but I was barely able to eat the beans as it was not that good I got the raspberry mint caipirinha for the cocktail and it was really refreshing. I loved the muddled fruit that I decided to pour water into the cup as an infused water after finishing the drink In addition we had the tajin-dusted fried zucchini and that was good. I love the creamy green chile sauce which acted as a nice dip for the chips because they were so stingy with the queso dip. For dessert we tried the sopapillas which is quite airy and it's nice to try it sweet instead of savory. Service is really slow. It took us almost 3 hours to finish the meal, with lots of waiting in between courses. This needs to be improved read more

Restaurant week is usually more miss than hit because restaurants get overwhelmed and over capacity. Bang Bang Kitchen's restaurant week was an exception - everything was delicious and the service was great. Particular hits were the chili frito pie; the mole enchiladas, and the fried ice cream. All great flavors and substantial portions. Drinks were complex and visually appealing. The restaurant itself is colorful and clean with comfortable seating. We look forward to coming back again soon! read more

Service here was beyond great. The staff were so friendly, accommodating, and kept making sure everything was taken care of. Restaurant is nice and clean. Food was good - I really enjoyed the tacos, my wife enjoyed the burrito, but we both think that the chicken wings were amazing, crispy and the star on the menu. We will go back for sure. read more

Surprisingly authentic Mexican food with an amazing bartender/ drinks and excellent service. We had chicken nachos, beef tacos and the fried ice cream and washed it down with some margaritas and a frosea. We visited on a Saturday night and it was a really fun vibe to boot! read more

Where has New Mexican food been all my life?? In New Mexico, I guess. Finally tried this spot after moving south to the neighborhood a few months ago, and it instantly became our new go-to brunch spot. Came here Ona date brunch with my wife, and we'll definitely be bringing the kids next time. The cornbread pancakes and chicken wings and breakfast torta all hit the spot. It's a beautiful cross between TexMex and a hint of Southern cuisine, a wonderful mixture of flavors that were at once familiar and novel to us. They have a beautiful restaurant on Othello with lots of space for groups of varying sizes, and they have validated parking in garage behind the restaurant. Can't wait to come back and try it out for dinner and drinks! read more

Very cute neighborhood restaurant with friendly service. Met a friend here during Happy Hour on a Wednesday, this was both our first visit. Spent a lot of time on such a small menu to decide what we wanted as some items seems peculiar, like vegan Mac&cheese and pancakes w/ wings so we ordered queso and chips along with some drinks as we continued to browse the menu and look up pictures to catch their vibe but we both landed on enchiladas. Dish comes with 3 enchiladas but you cannot mix the meat so we got 3 chicken and 3 brisket, both with red & green sauce. The chicken was the best as the brisket was pretty dry but neither was worth raving over. All in all I would come back to try their brunch on the weekend and if I was in a nacho mood during their happy hour. read more

Absolutely awesome place to get your grub on!! This has been on my bookmarks forever and I finally decided to go out of my way to try it out. I went for brunch this time and will certainly be back for dinner! Bang Bang isn't veg*n, but they are very friendly and many of the menu items can be easily modified to be either vegan or vegetarian. I went with the breakfast burrito, sub soyrizo to make it veggie friendly. It was really good and filling! The green sauce was definitely my favourite of the two. To drink I got a Berry the Hatchet, which was perfect! The restaurant was beautifully clean, the service was great, and they have a bar section. Great establishment!! The only thing I didn't like was the parking. I did, in fact, find street parking. It was not a picnic. There's a parking garage. Don't be me and use it! read more

The vibe was nice, drinks were good, but service was very slow for only a few other tables, and the food was pretty bland. We definitely had higher hopes. I think we'd try it again to give it a second chance. The cornbread pancakes were delicious, but the potatoes with our brunch were unseasoned. The cowboy breakfast was a huge disappointment. Could have gotten something better at a diner. read more

I ran in one rainy night for some chips, guacamole, and a Margarita. It was 3 minutes to 6:00, and Happy Hour was ending. The host said " Make yourself comfortable, we'll take care of you!", and they did. Happy hour prices- a VERY smooth tasty Margarita, and the best guacamole I recall having in a long time. Great menu choices, festive, clean, comfortable, great service! I was impressed, and will be back! Close to the light-rail!!! Thanks Bang Bang Kitchen!!! You are a winner! read more

Always an amazing experience. Very chill environment with a dope ambiance. Food is great. Especially for people on Vegan diets. So many options which is super helpful. And the service is always good. Shoutout to the bartender name Cody as well. One of the better bartenders in the Seattle area. read more

Came in for Sunday Brunch and blown away by the excellent food and service. Everything is reasonably priced and high of the highest quality. Our server Aura was the sweetest and the owner, Micky was very involved in the service and was also incredibly friendly. I ordered the cornbread pancakes and wings and they were delicious. Will definitely come back at night to try the tacos as I've heard they are killer. Free parking in the garage and beautiful decor. Home run!! read more

Stopped here with my family for a quick bite to eat before a flight. It was Saturday evening, and the restaurant was just starting to fill up with more people. Lovely ambiance with fun lights, tables, and booths. The hostess and waiter were both very friendly and attentive. The food was GREAT overall. We started with sopapillas and honey -- wow. My family both got different tacos and I got a burrito. The tacos were 5 stars, the rice and beans a little lackluster. The burrito was yummy with delicious Christmas sauce but I would have loved some veg with the potatoes and beans. I got chorizo tofu though which was delicious. Definitely a spot to check out. read more

Bang Bang Kitchen is my favorite place for Mexican food in Seattle. Hatch Green Chilies? You've got me! I love the everything I've eaten here but my favs are the tacos and the enchiladas with Christmas sauce (half red and half green chili). Unfortunately, the prices have really increased and the serving size has decreased. When we first started going here a couple of years ago, you would get 3 enchiladas= rice and beans for $19. Now you get 2 enchiladas + rice and beans for $23. That's $11.50 per enchilada. In all honesty, 2 enchiladas is enough for me but more $ for less food is tough. Shrinkflation strikes again! I still love this place and we still go, albeit not as often as we used to, but we forgo the trio dip and alcoholic beverages. read more

Stopped in and ordered from their Seattle Restaurant Week menu. I had the green chili bisque, cheesy birria tacos and the fried ice cream. This spot is one of my favorite go to places in Seattle cause the food and service is always great. Every single thing I had for this meal was incredible. It was so good that it's ruined every meal for a few days after cause nothing compares. (The tacos were gone before I could get a pic) read more

Why is this place not packed for Saturday brunch? Interesting menu, great flavors, pleasant and professional servers. Ok, the chairs could be more comfortable, but besides that, a stellar meal. My fav part of the meal was the SW Fried Rice. Nice presentation and homey yet exciting flavors. Topped with a fried egg - perfect. I'm guessing everything on the menu has been thoughtfully constructed to be very satisfying. I hope to find out as I eat through the menu! read more

This place was pretty pretty good. I made in time for Happy Hour which had a good menu. There were drinks and pretty of food options. I enjoyed the location which is near the Othello station.

Popular with the locals. Friendly staff, variety of Mexican dishes. Bar is comfortable with several screens so good for coming alone to catch a game. Restaurant is separate enough from the bar to not be a distraction from your meal. Just a few steps up the road from the Othello lightrail station. If you are driving, free parking for customers can be accessed from the eastside of the building facing Othello Park. read more

Great HH specials and I love the space, but the service really leaves something to be desired. We waited ages to get drinks, even after tables sat after us. They forgot one entree, which they did comp, but the staggered food and neglect we felt was really hard when we're trying to keep two kids entertained at the table. I appreciated the kids menu, crayola crayons (the best brand!), and lids on kids' drinks. I'll be back, but with lowered expectations. read more

Cute spot with friendly service and extremely close to the light rail station. Came here for brunch on a Sunday and there were plenty of open tables. The flavors were pretty standard, but still a good experience. They serve primarily Tex-mex food. I had the sweet potato and it was spicier than I expected but in a good way. I've never had guacamole in a sweet potato and it'll be a new combo I'll try at home. A little overpriced though for 17$. Street parking or garage parking if you stay for less than 1hr. read more

A very good experience trying New Mexican cuisine. My friend and I came here for the Plate of Nations event going on and we got the dinner deal which came with chips, pinto beans, rice, chicken wings, and 2 different types of enchiladas. We got the chips with queso, as well as the butter honey wings, and chicken and groundbeef enchiladas. My favorite thing was the butter honey chicken followed by the chicken enchiladas. The staff were super friendly and answered all of questions as it was first time here and they gave good suggestions. Also there's a parking garage right next door too! read more

Always a great experience. We come here with our toddler and everyone is incredibly friendly. The little one is a picky eater but never fails to eat lots of their Mac and cheese. They validate parking as well. I didn't really see a space to change the toddler, so just know that when you come! read more

This place is clean. From the plates to the silverware and the cups. Restaurant can be found 1 block away from the Othello light rail station. It's Seattle you're not finding street parking anywhere. The food: a solid 9/10. The chicken wings were exquisite because it was not over seasoned and perfectly crispy. The vegan Mac blew my mind because you wouldn't know it didn't have any dairy in it. Lactose intolerance people rejoice. If you order the tacos it comes with the salsa. Take your wings and dip it in the ancho salsa and you got a winning combination. Remember this: wings and salsa. The cooks in the back are definitely understand what they are doing because the food flavors and textures are masterful. The owners really pay attention to your order. Don't like something? They will fix it. Don't know what to order? They'll give you their personal recommendations. Bang bang kitchen is like South Lake Union vibes at standard post-Covid prices. That's banging in my book. read more

Expensive for what you get. Flavors were average, nothing blew me away. The sauces on the burrito weren't spicy. I can't tolerate spicy foods very well but easily could've taken more heat. Service was extremely nice though. I liked the service more than the food. Visually, the restaurant itself and the food were very attractive. read more

My Girlfriend and I chose this place because she is New Mexico born and raised and moved out her last year. So when we saw this listed as "New Mexican Cuisine" we felt that this was a must try. For Drinks: I do have to say this was my fault for not looking up what a shrub drink is, it has a base of apple cider vinegar. Which I myself do not like. If you don't like ACV, I would suggest you avoid it, cause the vinegar taste is definitely not masked by the pear rosemary flavor. For Starters: We shared a Frito Pie w/ground beef. She gave it a 9/10, very much had the taste of home. It was my first time trying one, and I will definitely try to make these at home, so good. For Entrees: She had the Stuffed Sopapillas w/ ground beef. She would rate it a 7/10, because the bread was more like a fried tortilla because it was just so thin and not like a true sopapilla. She did like the "christmas style" of the chile, she just wished there was more of the red chile. I had the huevos rancheros w/ green chile chicken, she gave it a solid 10/10. It really stuck with its authenticity, it would've been nice if the tortillas were on the side but nonetheless it kept the authentic flavor of New Mexico. read more

Awesome bar and restaurant half a mile from our air b and b in Seattle's cool Othello neighborhood. We walked down after putting our stuff away. We had a few local beers. The chips and salsas were incredible. It was pretty crowded when we arrived. Service was very good. Fast and friendly. Great indoor and outdoor seating. Restaurant was very clean. I wanted to go more than once, but we didn't have the time. Definitely a great spot to eat and drink right off the Othello train stop. read more

I've tried Bang Bang Kitchen twice now and I've had the bang bang burrito both times. It comes with beans, rice, cheese, green and red Chile sauce, and I've ordered it with chicken each time. The portion size of the burrito is large but not too large that it is overwhelming. It definitely fills you up. You can get green or red Chile or a half and half of both on the top. I have always gotten the burritos to go so I can't say anything on the service, but they have always been prompt about having my food ready when they say it is when I order. I'm excited to get another burrito from them in the future! read more
